Extras include a Beach bag only in Beachfront Deluxe Bungalow upwards, slippers and an electric kettle. Kurumba’s restaurants boast an impressive variety of cuisines, including Japanese, Indian, and Arabian cuisine. Fez lounge features a wide selection of shisha, cocktails and snacks. Athiri bar is the best spot for gorgeous sunset views, and Kandu bar offers DJ or live music. Wonderful experience staying here. The pickup from the airport, the boat transfer, the check in at 11:30pm at night all was great. The Ocean front villa was beautiful, well kept. The snorkelling just off the back door with alot of fish around and the water so clear and pristine. The brekky buffet spread was huge and everything was great quality. The Cafe and restaurants were great. The staff are so welcoming friendly and warm and well trained. Make you feel tended to. The Dolphin tour was well organised and the boys on the boat were so helpful and accommodating and we were able to see Dolphins. The Shark/Sandbar/Reef tour was amazing too, with the Watersports boys friendly, helpful and ever so accommodating. The small things such as scented towels, the custom flip flops and a letter/reminder the night before check out to fill in the online departure form, allowing a free boat ride to the airport again the next day to pickup family. Overall a blissful 5 Star vacation !!! We didn't feel like leaving !!!

Located just a 10 minute drive away from Male International Airport, Hotel Ocean Grand offers cosy and comfortable accommodation and a 24-hour front desk to assist guests at all hours. Free WiFi access is available throughout the property including all rooms. We were on a business trip and chose this hotel for the reviews, pictures and locations. All expectations were exceeded - everything was clean, comfortable and the food was really good. Particular mention goes to the fabulous attention of Fahim, and also Sudar and Sumit. Congratulations to front office team, housekeeping and the restaurant staff. Special mention to the dinner we organised on the terrace, it was superb!

Sun Siyam Vilu reef offers a relaxing beachside experience with its spacious villas, an outdoor pool and an on-site diving centre. A gym and 2 restaurants are also available.

The air-conditioned villas are elegantly decorated with wooden flooring and furnishings. Enjoying views of the beach or ocean, each is equipped with a cable/satellite TV, Chinese TV channels, hot water showers and a minibar. The villas also come with free toiletries and slippers. Free WiFi is available in the rooms. Our stay at Sun Siyam Vilu Reef was amazing! Our first time in The Maldives, we had started out the trip with a few days in Male. Sun Siyam had offered free seaplane transfers for stays for 4 nights and more, and this was arranged from the hotel we were checking out from, to the airport, and to Sun Siyam. We were welcomed by our designated host for the stay – Sopa – who provided all information we needed, and kept in touch with us throughout the stay. We had booked a bed and breakfast option, and the in-villa dining was good for meals in the villa when we preferred to stay indoors. The buffet-style dining for dinner was great. The staff was very friendly, we had welcome drinks on arrival, and the villa was more than we could imagine. We had access to the beautiful ocean and went kayaking on one afternoon. We had a chance swim by with a baby shark and saw dolphins while watching the sunset. Our agent and housekeeper made the stay special.

An Unforgettable Paradise: The Perfect Snorkeling and Beach Getaway I recently had the privilege of staying at this incredible beach hotel, and it was nothing short of a dream come true. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and an impeccable level of service that made me feel like royalty. The staff were genuinely kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect in every way. The hotel itself is situated close to a pristine stretch of beach that feels like a slice of heaven. The soft, powdery sand and the crystal-clear turquoise waters are picture-perfect. Whether lounging under a swaying palm tree or taking a leisurely stroll along the shore, every moment was blissful. But the highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the snorkeling excursions. The hotel offers some of the best-organized and professionally guided tours I’ve ever experienced. The guides were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and made every effort to ensure we had an unforgettable time exploring the vibrant underwater world. The reefs were teeming with colorful marine life, from schools of tropical fish to graceful sea turtles and even the occasional stingray. It felt like swimming through a living aquarium! The accommodations were equally impressive. My room was spacious, beautifully decorated. Falling asleep there and waking up to the sunrise over the sea was a magical experience. Dining at the hotel was another highlight. The on-site restaurants served fresh, delicious meals with a variety of options to suit every palate. I particularly loved the seafood dishes, which were expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. Every detail of this boutique beach hotel has been carefully curated to provide an unforgettable experience. Whether you're looking to relax on the beach, immerse yourself in underwater adventures, or simply soak up the warm hospitality, this place has it all. I can’t recommend this hotel enough—it truly is a paradise on Earth.

h78 is an award-winning hotel situated just a stone's throw away from the turquoise blue sea and white sandy beaches of Maldives. We have been recognized for our exceptional customer service for nearly a decade and are one of the oldest hotels in the greater Male' area, offering consistent care and service to our guests. Excellent hotel on the seafront in Hulhumale, perfect for spending the night arriving and departing from the airport. Small but comfortable room, but not suitable for long stays. Good quality for dinner and breakfast. The pick up and drop off service to the airport is convenient and effective.

Situated along the coastline of Maafushi, Arena Beach Hotel features modern and tranquil accommodation with free WiFi access in the entire property including rooms. Guests can enjoy water sports activities such as diving, snorkelling and windsurfing on site. First of all from the time i stepped into the building until the time i stepped onto the speedboat to leave i felt like royalty. This company is incredible really. My girlfriend started crying when we departed because she says she has never had a hotel make her feel so special like Arena has. Ajay from house keeping took care of my luggage and even brought a basket of fresh fruit to the room in the afternoon. Ajay was very helpful to answer my questions and help anyway he could.
